What it feels like to be a State Champion


The feeling of being a State Champ is like a dream.  It's something that you never expect to happen and then it happens.  It is so fulfilling and knowing that you deserve it as a team.  Everyone on the team was a huge part of the winning Championship!

It hard to believe that we did it...we were not suppose to win... and we were not the most talented team in the State.
We had nothing to lose going into the game...ITS A DREAM!!!!!!!
 
This message was sent to each player as we the New Trier team was preparing for the championship game.

"This is it ,this is the State Championship. We've been dreaming about this night forever. Now is the time to live the dream.  Dreams are generally out of our control and left to fate, but this dream is special.  This dream is reality.  Tonight we can decide to battle and overcome as we tempt to fate our special dream.  We have control, we can steer this dream in the right direction down glory road.  Winning a state Championship is a glorious accomplishment, but the true glory lies in the journey taken to this point, in the trust you have in the man next to you, and in the true fact that you have done everything you can to walk away on top.

This is your time and your turn to become a state champion. Go out there and soak it up!
Become a State Champion Today!"

High School Tennis comes to an end!

My name is Drew Campbell and I am a freshman on the New Trier Varsity tennis team. I finished with a record of 18-2 and won conference at 3 singles for my squad. The team as a whole finished 3rd in the state behind Hinsdale Central and Stevenson. Robert Stineman, a fellow tip-topper played one singles for us and got 6th in state beating players like Ben Hoogland and Michael Jacobs. Andrew Scholnick finished in 8th place for us. 

Ross Putterman, a sophomore at Stevenson High School had a great finish, placing 2nd in the doubles with partner David Packowitz. In the quarterfinals, they were down 5-2 in the third set, and with two rain delays they rallied back to win in a third set tiebreaker. Using the tiptop technique of dolphin breath and jump roping to stay loose, they went on to win the match. 

We are all getting ready for the qualifier the biggest sectional  tournament of the year!

Trevians dominate Loyola to take Sectionals


New trier Junior and most improved baseball player at New Trier 
Gordie Campbell laces a run scoring a double in the second inning
to put the Trevians up 2-1.  Gordie Campbell put on 15 pounds and got in Tip Top shape. Gordie Campell gave 110 percent on his fitness thru the winter and I feel it has paid off!

Good luck New Trier Baseball!

Blake Oslan Training HARD!!!

Before coming to TipTop I was struggling in Tennis physically and  mentally. Then, after I finished 6 months of TipTop I finally won my first 12s the day before my 11th birthday the Wildcat Invitational.  TipTop training has improved my Tennis game so much! Also, Mindee always reminded me to prepare before a match which means stretching, running, and jump rope.  TipTop has helped me win the tournaments I Hhave won. If you are strong physically and mentally you can be a great sports player!
